Happy Monday!
Hope you had a fabby weekend.
Today I'm sharing some vintage Halloween cards I made with Paper Temptress papers and Crafty Secrets' Cotton Scraps. I bought several sheets of the Cotton Scraps when I first got in to cardmaking and I have to admit that I don't know how to use them well. I see people like Sharon Johnson use them often and make it look effortless, but I've had a heck of a time using them and making them look good.
Both of my cards feature a base of Antique Parchment from Paper Temptress. What I love about her parchment paper is that it's just like regular cardstock - so it's not flimsy like you would think how parchment paper is fragile. This is nice and firm with a parchment look and it's great for all your vintage projects. I've also use some Epic Black Columns paper in there - another rich and sturdy paper with score lines -columns- already done for you which saves you a lot of time when you need texture and don't have time to emboss or to score.
Hope your week starts off just super!

These are fantastic Michelle. The black columns paper does look great, and I love how you did the little tag and the ribbon.
On the second one, I love the little rhintestones around the corner, drawing your eye down to the sentiment. You weren't kidding when you said you've got tons of Halloween cards!
